  3. 1. Introduction 1.1 Research on urban growth in China Two broadly defined groups: Institutional/political economy perspectives Process, mechanisms, theories growth machines development/entrepreneur states globalization, globalizing cities … Markusen: evidences, methodology…

  4. Neoclassical/modeling approaches Land use/land cover change Location factors, growth determinants Statistics, GIS/RS, landscape metrics… Positivism, theory?

  5. 1.2 Modeling urban growth • Statistical models: • global models • underlying forces 1.3 Urban growth • Local, non-stationary process over the space • Same set of factors have different influences on different areas of a city • Context-sensitive theory?

  6. 1.4 Objective • Theories: Regional Development Industrial agglomeration (RS), remaking the Wenzhou model (EG) • Methodology: GIS local analysis, LISA, ESDA, GWR, spatial regression… • Regional development (PiRS) • Urban growth/structure (EPB)

  7. 1) Local analysis/perspectives Explore spatially varying relationships between urban land expansion and influential factors Modeling: Logistic geographically weighted regression (GWR), a local regression technique 2) Socio-economic factors

  8. 2. Study area and Growth Patterns 2.1 Nanjing: coastal, Yangtze Delta • From 1988 to 2000 • Population: 4.88 million to 5.45 million • Built-up area: 392 km2 to 512 km2 • Study area: the majority of built-up areas, 1128.89 km2

  9. Population density 2000

  10. Urban growth in Nanjing: 1988-2000

  11. 3. Data and Methodology 3.1 Data • Census data • Landsat TM imageries: 1988 and 2000 • Image processing • Classification: built-up, agriculture, forest and water body • GIS: transportation, plan scheme, topographic and land use survey

  12. 3.2 Land use data sampling • Sampling: combined systematic and random scheme • Systematic sampling: extract regularly spaced points with 300m interval • Extract all 1332 points with non-urban to urban land use conversion • Randomly select 1350 points without land use conversion • 2682 land use sample points

  13. 3.3 Variables inputs • Dependent variable: Probability of non-urban to urban land conversion • Explanatory variables: • Proximity factors: proximity to economic nodes • Neighborhood factors

  14. Water body Agriculture Land Forest land

  15. 4. Logistic GWR model 4.1 Global logistic regression model Findings: All explanatory variables are significant road infrastructure development local roads: more important than highways Land use constraints: forest, water City centers more important than subcenters

  16. 4.2 Logistic GWR model Weighting scheme: Fixed kernel vs Adaptive kernel N=138, Chosen by minimizing an AIC score

  17. 4.3 Model comparison • Significance test for spatial variability • All parameters with p-value below 0.01 • Significant spatial variability

  18. Summary statistics for GWR parameters estimates

  19. 5. Spatial variations of urban growth pattern • Parameters vary across space: local process • All the variables except for Dis2Lard and ForeDen have both positive and negative parameter values • Dis2Lard: significant all over the city (-) • Other parameters have certain parts in the study area where they are non-significant • Use inverse distance weighted (IDW) interpolation to generate parameter and t-statistic surfaces (30×30m)

  20. GWRparameter surfaces:Roads: more negative effective in the north

  21. GWRparameter t-statistic surfaces

  22. GWRparameter surfaces: Centers: more effective in the north Influence of major centers: compact citySuburban centers: weak, local influence

  23. GWRparameter t-statistic surfaces

  24. GWRparameter surfaces:Neighborhood: varied effectiveness

  25. GWRparameter t-statistic surfaces

  26. Urban growth probabilities

  27. 6. Conclusions Findings: 1. Logistic GWR can significantly improve the global logistic regression for urban growth modeling: 2. Effects of determining factors have significant spatial variation 3. Interpretation of spatial process should be careful with spatial context; need for local analysis

  28. Limitations: 1) Data: socio-economic variables Discussion: 1) The nature of theory: Theoretical statements 2) Local analysis vs. generalization 3) Representativeness, sampling bias Thank You and Questions?
